“Sewing technology is taken to its extreme with a completely researched craftsmanship.” say Färg & Blanche. “We have tried extreme sewing technology the past years,… Now we have gone even further by decreasing almost everything, only a shell of wood with the sewing as pattern generator and a structural element.”

Färg & Blanche’s Wood Tailoring employs a sewing machine to stitch directly onto wood in order to join various components with each other and at the very same time develop patterns which have an aesthetic of their personal. Layer upon layer of thick plywood is stitched with each other to make the Wood Layer Armchair, the resulting sewing presents a topographical map with an organic pattern that resembles the growth of wood.

“Sewing is generally seen as anything, which has to do with soft components. We use our heavy-duty sewing machines to sew in wood. And, yes, it is a raw poetry that fuses the hand-created with the industrial.”
